The Trek Emonda SL7 is described as an "aeroclimber" that brings a smile to the face. The bike's design has evolved with the times, incorporating aerodynamic features even in lightweight models. The new Émonda is set to be ridden by professional cyclists like Vincenzo Nibali and Lizzie Deignan. The frame showcases Kammtail profiles and emphasizes aerodynamics over mere weight reduction. The bike is optimized for climbing mountains such as the legendary Alpe d’Huez. The frame design is based on "unsteady aerodynamics", making it suitable for both professionals and amateurs. The bike is said to be 60 seconds faster per hour on flat terrains and 18 seconds faster on gradients like Alpe d’Huez compared to its predecessor. The frame has fully integrated cables and brake hoses.
